Rizpah'S Vigil

10Then Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it out for herself on the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water was poured on them from the heavens. And she did not allow the birds of the sky to rest on them by day, nor the wild animals of the field by night.

11And it was reported to David what Rizpah daughter of Aiah, Saul’s concubine, had done.

12Then David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the citizens of Jabesh-gilead, who had stolen them from the public square of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hung them on the day the Philistines struck down Saul on Gilboa.

13He brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and they gathered the bones of those who had been impaled.

14They buried the bones of Saul and of Jonathan his son in the land of Benjamin, in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father. They did all that the king had commanded, and after that God responded to the plea for the land.
